Dry Run

A dry run is when a trucker is not able to successfully complete the pickup or delivery of a shipment. The trucker will charge full price for the extra trip. Dry runs can occur when there is port congestion or cargo has not been released . Sometimes, especially during peak season and Chinese New Year preparations, ports are so congested that truckers are unable to pick up a shipment on the first try. And if the trucker arrives to pick up a shipment but the cargo is not ready for pickup, the trucker will charge for a dry run.
